1 hour per week. Participants will be allowed to continue to build and program their robots in between meetings. Before every meeting, participants can present their projects and the improvements they made in the process.Class Experience
Each session is full of projects based on Passion, Collaboration with Peers, and a Playful Spirit. It is full of hands-on Memorable, Meaningful, and Motivating activities, specially designed for girls and boys, 10-14 years old. This club is a discovery class where the only academic requirement is a passion for learning and creating. In this online live club, each student will: - Participate in a session with other enthusiasts his/her age group (10-14) who own a Robot Inventor Mindstorm set at home, discovering how robotics engineering is a part of their everyday life. - Enjoy an hour of personalized project-based discussion and interest-based projects. - Learn to design, build, create, and code models that will require an engineer's eye. - Collaborate with small groups (6 enthusiasts maximum per session) with one adult certified live instructor. Week One (Robotics Platforms) - Robotics - Control your robot to make sounds/show colorful lights/make sounds Week Two (Coding Platforms) - Robots - Program your robot to move around depending on your specific design Week Three (Robotics Engineering) - Engineering Design Process - Define the Problem Week Four (Mechanical Engineering) - Problem Solving Strategies - Plan the Solution to the Problem The 60 minutes meetings are incredibly interactive: 10-minute lecture using videos and slides. 40-minute self-paced creation. 10-minute discussion of achievements.
Learning Goals
Robotics is a growing field in our world that is constantly changing and advancing in technology.
In this course, you will experience firsthand what it is like to be a Robotics Engineer. You will have the opportunity to build and program your own robot through various obstacles and challenges presented throughout the class.
For this course, students will be programming and building the Lego Mindstorms Robot Inventor. Students will be using it to learn to program robots, create their projects, and share their creations.
Students will learn that being a Robotics Engineer starts with understanding a robot's parts and building and programming several simple tasks.
With the instructor's guide, students will learn that they, too, can be a part of the Robotics Engineer process if they are willing to try.
